that God is who He says He is; means what He says; does what He says, and we will have to stand before Him one day. we are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling! God is not a man that He would lie.
I fear God the same way I feared my dad when I was younger, except on a whole different level. He knows everything I've done and I can't hide it from Him. He also knows what I have the potential to do and that scares me too. He wants us out of our comfort zone and I think that scares everyone.
